Why I Mentor?
“I believe what it takes to be successful in the professional world is different from the academic world. There are so many things I wish I knew as a student that I’d love to share. Also, as a women in STEM, I feel it’s important to support other women entering this space.”
— Hermioni Zouridis (PhD, Chemical Engineering)
“I want to provide the support and encouragement I sought when I was in college and beginning my professional career. I want to women in STEM to see that despite there being obstacles in our way, it is still such a fulfilling and rewarding field to be a part of.”
— Emily Pishgahzadeh Structural Engineer
“Throughout my career I have been lucky enough to have been mentored by wonderful women. I feel strongly that I must pay this forward by helping a new generation reach their goals. Knowledge is something that should never be contained to the few but something that must be passed down and shared.”
